Caillou Helps Out on DVD 6/16 #review

A Rup Life received product to facilitate this post. This post may contain affiliate links.

PBS Kids has some of the best children's television on today. Caillou has been a long time favorite in our home - probably because the star of the show is a little boy, and we have 3 little boys running around! The latest release Caillou Helps Out features seven great episodes and releases on June 16th (pre-order on Amazon now)

About:

Caillou loves helping out! From helping his dad or giving in a hand in the classroom - he is your man! Enjoy seven wonderful stories featuring our favorite preschooler Caillou with his friends and family!

“Caillou Makes a Meal”

Caillou makes
pizza for dinner with his family, and learns that home-made pizza can be just
as good as the fast-food pizza they have delivered to their door...and it’s fun
to make!

“High Flyers”

Daniel comes for
a visit and thinks he knows how to put together a model plane...without the
instructions. When the plane doesn’t fly properly, Caillou finally gets the
courage to point out a poorly connected piece. They fix the plane and Daniel
acknowledges that Caillou knows a lot for a little kid!

“The Untidy Classroom”

When Caillou complains about having to tidy up, Miss Martin suggests
an experiment – they won’t tidy up the classroom for a few days, and they’ll
see what happens.At first, the kids think
this is fantastic...until they can’t find their puzzle pieces, they keep
stepping on toys, and they can’t even do their morning exercises. Caillou
finally realizes it’s time to tidy up, and decides to lead the clean-up crew!

“Follow Me”

Caillou tries to befriend his new classmate, Andy, but finds he isn’t
getting very far. When Caillou tries to see things through Andy’s eyes, and
realizes he prefers quiet activities – such as drawing – Caillou finally finds
a way for them to be friends.

“Emma’s Extra Snacks”

Caillou is confused when Emma is allowed to have extra snacks at
preschool. He’s even more confused when Miss Martin explains that Emma has type
1 diabetes. Worried about his friend, Caillou becomes very protective of Emma,
not wanting her to do anything – not even go down the slide!But when Emma outruns Caillou in a race, he
soon realizes Emma’s diabetes isn’t like a cold or flu. It’s something Emma has
to live with every day...and she’s doing a pretty good job of it.

“Smooth Sailing”

Caillou likes sailing with Daddy and Grandpa. Only, he wants to be
Captain!Grandpa and Daddy try to
convince him that his job – as Lookout – is very important, but Caillou isn’t
convinced...until he helps them find Treasure Cove by spotting various
landmarks and leading the way.

“Captain Caillou”

Captain Caillou and Fantastic Leo are enjoying ‘flying’ around the
house, pretending to be superheroes. Only, they can’t seem to share the task of
saving the world!Each wants to be the
big hero in charge of their important ‘rescue’.When Daddy asks them to lend a hand in weeding out the wild weed ogres,
Caillou and Leo come to realize things would go a lot smoother if they worked
together.

Our Thoughts:

My preschooler loves watching television. (Yes, I admitted it) We really try to keep it educational and Caillou is perfect for that. The episodes help us to talk about things in our life that correlate to what is happening on screen. Jace really enjoyed this DVD and has watched it many times since we received it. I'd say it is a big hit with him!

Be sure to pick up your copy at your local retailer on June 16 or online at stores like Amazon.

I'm Going to Heaven Can't Wait!

I want to ask you the question... If you died today do you know where you would end up? Would it be in Heaven or Hell? Do you have a reason for that? Is it because you are a good person? Because you help others? Do you have a Bible reason for going to Heaven? The bible says there is one way for you to get to Heaven and that is through Jesus.
I encourage you to Ask Jesus to save Your soul today. I did many years ago and I couldn't be happier with the peace and love from God I feel everyday.
